Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins in Ruminants: Inactive Members of the Aspartic Proteinase Family

[en] The Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins (PAGs) presented in this paper are largely expressed in the ruminant placenta. These proteins are classified as probably inactive members of the aspartic proteinase family. Pepsinogen, renin, cathepsin E
